DizzyAGE website update

Hi,

Till now, the DizzyAGE and the Yolkfolk websites maintained 2 separate lists of the same games. That wasn't always efficient and I apologize for the delays that DizzyAGE website sometimes had when posting your games. Not to mention differences of release dates and 2 separate download counters.

Well, from now on, the DizzyAGE website is linked directly to the Yolkfolk database and it will display all the games from there - that is the ones made with the DizzyAGE engine.

Many, many thanks to Andrew and to Peter Teal who have set up the Yolkfolk website and exposes its data base in such a way for DizzyAGE to keep its original looks!

So, from now on, it's enough to submit your new games to Yolkfolk and when it's uploaded there, it will automatically show on the DizzyAGE games page as well. Still, I'd very much enjoy it if you send it to me as well, like before, so I can have a pre-release peek :smile:

Thank you for all the support over the years!
And let the fun continue!
See you on the DizzyAGE Easter Competition 2015 - The 10th Anniversary!

Alex

I've noticed on the DizzyAGE site that there's now 105 games made with DizzyAGE, that makes Wizard School the 100th game!

So many nice DizzyAGE games have been coming out in recent years so I completely lost count with how many of them there are. :smile:

When is the 10th annual Easter Competition likely to start this year?

The 100th DizzyAGE game doesn't even have Dizzy in it? Well that is kind of anticlimactic. {yolkfolk}:raspy:

WhooHoo, one of my games has actually achieved something (even if Dizzy wasn't the 'star') {yolkfolk}:yahoo:

But Grandad, have you forgotten you large collection of wooden spoons? Surely that's an achievement :wink:
I wouldn't be surprised as well if you aren't now the most prolific game maker, so that would be another achievement. Plus a couple of your games are vying for the title of rudest 'Dizzy' game :teethy:

EDIT - I just checked, and you are EASILY the most prolific! A positive one man industry. And long may it continue! After all those games, how you keep coming up with all those cunning puzzles, I do not know. (But I am glad you do!)

Yes, I long ago gave up the title of 'most prolific' to Grandad, which I took over from Peter before me...

Do you think you'll ever make a special appearance here again Jamie? I for one would be happy if that happened :teethy:

But you release Dizzy Legends 3 when the time is come, right?

Alex, you'll need to update the disclaimer on your front page. Since Blitz is long gone.

While looking at Yolkfolk.com's list I noticed that Another Dizzy Day was released before Wizard School so that is actually the 100th game. Sorry Grandad.

Funny talks about the 100th DizzyAGE game :smile:

I wanted to congratulate the 100th game, but things are a bit fuzzy with the counting. The initial DizzyAGE list was missing one or two entries. But the current list also has an issue. It doesn't list Peter Teal's "Dizzy Who: Into the Tardis" which was the 4th DizzyAGE game. I may find a way to add force it into the automated list at some point. So with this in mind, there would 106 games and so the 100th game would be "Tycoon Dizzy" by AndyG.

I don't know about the copyright disclaimer, but I removed the link to Blitz 1UP page from the front page.

The registrations in the competition will end on 1st of May most probably. And the winner will be announced on 1st July.

Return game volume on DizzyAGE as was earlier - small, medium, large, huge. It is more useful indicator, than vote.

An amazing plethora of games from yourself Jamie however, a lot of time and effort goes into making them :yes:

I honestly don't know. I'd like to sometime, but life moves on, and you've really no idea of the time commitment that went into producing Curse of the Mystics. Looking back through my system, I reckon it probably took at least 10 months to produce.

Silence of the Storm (number 3) would probably take even longer, and I simply don't have that kind of time to dedicate anymore. Sorry. {dizzy}:frown:

Just a quickie then please Jamie instead? ;D
Seriously, all the author's efforts are greatly appreciated, well done all and thanks {yolkfolk}:clap: {yolkfolk}:cheers: {yolkfolk}:clap:
